Such an awesome tune, "Billie Jean" is one of my favourite by Michael Jackson and is super fun to play as the notes aren't as challenging as they sound, so perfect for beginners!
Did you know?! Billie Jean has been covered by Flying Pickets, Blackstreet, Chris Cornell, Faithless, Flying Pickets, Justin Bieber, London Symphonic Orchestra and also the Glee cast :)

Who will dance
F# G# F#
On the floor

In the round?
C# C# C#
She told me

Her name was Billie Jean
B A B A C#
As she caused a scene

Then every head turned
A B A C#
With eyes that dreamed

Of being the one

Who will dance

On the floor

For forty days and forty nights
B B A B A ^C#
The law was on her side

Her schemes and plans...
